David, King of Israel: His Life and Its Lessons - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Psalms of David are the throbbing heart of Holy Scripture. But they can not be fully understood unless we read them in the light of the experiences out of which they sprung. Hence the life of the son of Jesse must be ever interesting to the devout student of the Word of God ;and many have undertaken to set it forth in distinctness before the modern reader. In adding another to the works already existing on this portion of sacred history, I have no other apology to offer than that which arises out of the interest, amounting almost to a fascination, which it has long had for myself. I have endeavored to give vividness and reality to the far-off past, and to draw from it lessons of doctrine, of warning, of reproof, of correction, of instruction in righteousness for the present. In attempting to do this I have availed myself of all the light which I could obtain from every quarter. I have not consciously evaded any difficulty, or strained any statement; and while I have carefully noted my obligations to others, I can not forbear expressing in this place my indebtedness to Dean Stanley s Lectures on the Jewish Church, and the Bible dictionaries of Kitto, Smith, and Fairbairn. Such as it is, I desire to lay my work at the feet of Him whose I am and whom I serve; and if it shall in any measure increase my readers interest in the Old Testament Scriptures, or add to his enjoyment of the sacred Psalter, or minister to his spiritual profit, I shall be abundantly rewarded.
